SPN catches up with Scott Case and the AgLocal team (Video)

Nevermind that he was busy participating in one panel and moderating another last month at South By Southwest Interactive in Austin, Texas. Jeff Slobotski, SPN’s co-founder and chief community officer, still found time to put on his reporter’s hat and go to work.

“We’re basically raising the profile of America’s startups,” Case says. “That’s all part of Startup America in general — to try to elevate and celebrate the awesomeness thats happening all over the country.”

Case then provides a glowing introduction for Jones and McDaniel, AgLocal’s CEO and chief product officer, respectively. The co-founders reflect on what SXSW has meant to AgLocal, a marketplace that connects independent farmers and producers to local businesses and consumers. Perhaps most notably, they offer a glimpse at their startup’s short-term goals, which Jones says include launching a product by early summer.

Stay tuned to SPN for more on AgLocal’s impending product launch, and check out the video above for more from Case, Jones and McDaniel.
